Default Outlook Web API ?



My Outlook Office client is having latency problems (throws up the
username password when trying to load...the Exchange server is at a
distant site).

However, Web Outlook running in a browser seems to work ok.

Question: Is there a separate API for manipulating Outlook via the Web
API? Is it an ActiveX control?

OWA is a server side HTML application that runs on a server. It has no
relationship to Outlook or its object model. Each version of OWA is
different, but in general recent versions use WebDAV to access the Exchange
store.

Wow, that would argue for me using WebDAV for my application to access
outlook as a server store, since my webmail doesn't have any problems
accessing our new (remote) exchange server, and my Outlook client has
all sorts of what seem to be latency problems (and my app uses the
Outlook COM api).

Someone else in this group presented some code -- guess I'll have to go
back and reexamine that.
